Hey! I went online to hpb.gov.sg to check out my food intake assessment.
I don't find this assessment reliable to be representative of my diet in general, because in the course of these three days, I have been eating A LOT more than usual in comparison to a regular day, because, well, my dad insisted on trying new foods at new places. Which I truly appreciate, but it just made me feel unnecessarily bloated these three days.
Anyway, I tried to fill in the assessment as accurately as I could (which was hard to do considering the rather limited choices of food they offered as options), and here are the results:
Total Carbohydrates: 38% (recommended: 55 - 65%)
Total Protein: 28% (recommended: 10 - 15%)
Total Fat: 34% (recommended: 25 - 30%)
Apparently, my diet consists of too much energy, too much total fat, too much saturated fat, too much cholesterol and too much sodium. And too little calcium.
As I have mentioned before, I think the reason for this exceptionally high amount of substances that result in fat is due to the fact that I ate so, so much in those three days. However, on a regular basis, I eat quite considerably less.
Perhaps I should have taken the three days from a regular set of days instead of those where my father decided to stuff me full. That is a lesson to learn.
Anyway, what I have learnt from this analysis is that I should refrain from eating so much fatty stuff, like meat (Not that I should stop completely, but I should eat less). I should also drink more milk every morning so that I will have more calcium in my diet. Finally, I should cut down on my salt intake to reduce sodium in my body.
